Description
BrooklynVegan has teamed up with Ontario post-hardcore heroes Alexisonfire for our first-ever special edition magazine and exclusive vinyl pressings.
Old Crows/Young Cardinals is pressed on special Black/White Marble vinyl limited to only 500 copies, and comes with the BrooklynVegan special $20-value, 80-page magazine with album matched die-cut cover.
The 80-page magazine, written by BrooklynVegan editor Andrew Sacher, features a die cut cover with a color-matched AOF Heart Skull logo printed on vellum, and tells the career-spanning story of Alexisonfire, from their formation to their swift rise in popularity to their breakup to their reunion, with deep dives into every album from their 2002 self-titled debut through their 2022 comeback album Otherness. It features new, exclusive interviews with all five band members (George Pettit, Dallas Green, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele, and Jordan Hastings), as well as members of Hot Water Music, Fucked Up, Rise Against, Moneen, Boys Night Out, Sum 41, Billy Talent, and more.
Alexisonfire's third album Crisis helped elevate the band out of a scene and into their own lane, and 2009's Old Crows / Young Cardinals drew the line in the sand that this will never be a band that lives in the past. It's right there in the chorus of the first song ("We are not the kid we used to be/Stop wishing for yesterday"), and it's there in the music, which was Alexisonfire's most experimental and genre-defying yet. Bold, risk-taking albums are often the ones that age the best, and Old Crows / Young Cardinals is no exception.
All five AOF studio albums are also available in a limited-to-1000 box set (with different color vinyl, a live album, a print, magazine & more) and individually (on black/white marble vinyl, limited to 500 copies each, and bundled with the version of the magazine whose cover art matches the album it's packaged with).
